Despicable Michelle 'Botox' Bachmann appearance on Hardball; Tinklenberg campaign responds.

[AllieB]

I sent $$$ to El Tinkenberg's campaign after witnessing Michelle Bachmann's despicable performance on Hardball. Ten minutes later, they sent out the following note:

Friends,

Rep. Michele Bachmann was just on Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC.

The subjects she covered, and the tone she used have outraged people from all across the country.
I won't tell you what she said, I want you to see for yourself. This is what we are up against. It's sad when our politics has come to this.

1. She's a neoNazi like Pat!

[snappyturtle]

34. Policy positions of MB:

Bachmann's positions include:

Favors privatization of Social Security along the lines suggested by the Cato Institute.<59><60>
Supports both a Federal and State constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and legal equivalent, and is a critic of any type of gay rights or civil unions for gay couples.
Supports President Bush's policies in Iraq and believes the military must "stay the course" there<61><62><63>
Favors leaving the nuclear attack option on the table in dealing with Iran<64>
Opposes minimum wage increases<65>
Some of Bachmann's local critics say she could be more accurately described as a Christian fundamentalist politician.<11> Appearing on the radio program "Prophetic View In The News" to promote her 2004 state capitol rally against same-sex marriage, Bachmann said that "God calls us to fall on our faces and our knees and cry out to Him and confess our sins. And I would just ask your listeners to do that now. Cry out to a Holy God."<66>

In support of a constitutional amendment she proposed to ban same-sex marriage,<67> Bachmann said that the gay community was specifically targeting children and that "our children...are the prize for this community."<66> Bachmann believes that people who are homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or transgender suffer from "sexual dysfunction" and "sexual identity disorders."<68>

Bachmann supports the teaching of intelligent design in public school science classes.<69> During a 2003 interview on KKMS Christian radio program "Talk The Walk", Bachmann said that evolution is a theory that has never been proven, one way or the other.<70> She co-authored a bill that would require public schools to include alternative explanations for the origin of life as part of the state's public school science curricula.<71> In October 2006, Bachmann told a debate audience in St. Cloud, Minnesota, that “there is a controversy among scientists about whether evolution is a fact or not...There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.”<72>

[Hubert Flottz]

37. I wondered whatever happened to Regan...

Looks like Father Merrin's and Father Karras's fix back in the 70s finally wore off.

[Mister Ed]

41. "Bachmann said that 'God calls us to fall on our faces...'"

She sure obeyed God's call on that one last night!

;)

[Bluebear]

2. Bachmann IS despicable, and crazed to boot.

Look at her pulsating crazy eyes.

[AllieB]

22. Her eyes look NUTS.

How could people elect her? :puke:

[Fuzz]

3. My wife and I watched the first showing and were shocked

at what a despicable person she is.

[malaise]

21. Why was I not surprised when Buchanan was upset with

Katrina vanden Heuvel's mention of fascism while he was perfectly comfortable with her 'liberal, leftist anti-American terrorist lovers.

She's doing Dems a favor - raising funds for Tinkenberg. Let her talk some more.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

4. Michele Bachmann is Magda Goebbels

Fascist asshat. Embarrassment to my state.

[AllieB]

23. She's more like Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS.

:puke:

[Captiosus]

5. GOP: All Ayers and Wright, all the time till Nov 4th.

"OBAMA = TERRORIST!"
"LIBERAL = ANTIAMERICAN!"
"We're all gonna die if a liberal gets in office."

Fucking fear mongering, race baiting republicans.
These people are the reason our country is divided.
These people are the reason we haven't had better progress with race and sexuality.
These people are the ones who are going to cause the next, big, civil war.

[Lucy Goosey]

6. Wow, she's just a horrible person, isn't she?

And a grade-A moran.

[ClassWarrior]

[otohara]

8. She Should Have Included Some of The Transcript

since it's excruciating to watch the entire segment.

Hope there's some major blow back because of this and Ms. Bachmann is booted out of public service real soon.

[David__77]

9. She's a bitch. But it has nothing to do with Botox!

She's a fascist. Those of us with Botox who are progressive should not be lumped in with her!

[JI7]

10. what a nasty scumbag

[Raine]

13. I saw her...it was UGLY, UGLY, UGLY

one of the ugliest most hateful vile things I've seen and to think this person is in the United States Congress! :mad: :grr: :nuke:

[roguevalley]

27. I thought Katrina was going to have a hemorrhage

[proud patriot]

14. Kick Bachmann's ass in the election

:headbang:

[glinda]

15. Bush has to be stopped ***NOW****

Congress has to stop him from unleashing an army on the people. All the attacks are "Anti-American" constantly now. Palin, McCain, Bachmann and others are drilling drilling drilling it. Hey...drill baby drill I guess. They are stirring up the angry nutcases and they are accusing half of America as being traitors. Bush has to be censured or something RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[salin]

16. It's Michelle McCarthy?!

Wants the media to do a big expose on which folk serving in Congress are "anti-american".

Sheezzz

[CADEMOCRAT7]

17. McCarthyism has crawled out as GOP nut cases are appearing more and more disturbed.

I have my mother watching the second running of the show. I told her you have to see this McCarthy nut. I was shocked at Bachmann's level of ignorance. How did this crazy lady ever get elected ?

[bkkyosemite]

18. That's what they are saying. He is anti American that is what the whole lot of them are saying

And Chris got her to say it........He has been trying to get at this since Palin started her attacks and he got her to say what they believe.......racist, brainwashed idiots!

[get the red out]

20. Ready for Halloween

All this woman needs is a black hat and a broom. Hideous! I couldn't look at her more than 5 minutes.

[Raine]

24. Those creepy weird eyes of hers and

that weird fixed smile is actually scary. :scared: x( :puke:

[AllieB]

26. She has the frozen face of botox and dermal fillers.

It adds to the package, and not in a good way.

[AllieB]

25. Tweety gave her enough rope to hang herself.

He basically insinuated that she was a McCarthyite.

[Ron Green]

19. Who in the HELL elected this woman to the House of Representatives?

Has she been newly transformed into the absolute idiot she now is, did she fool most of a Congressional district, or are the voters in Minnesota just that fucking dumb?

[progressoid]

29. I think my Rep is worse.

Steve King is a blight on Iowa.

This asshole is a first class embarrassment.

[Raine]

33. At one time mine was "B1 Bob" Dornan

:blush: it doesn't get much worse than that. :yoiks: Thank goodness he was redistricted out.

[Mister Ed]

35. Answers below:

Q: Who in the HELL elected this woman to the House of Representatives?

A: Fearful, hateful, religious-right wackjobs here in Minnesota Congressional District 6.


Q: Has she been newly transformed into the absolute idiot she now is?

A: Nope. She was this way when she got elected to the local school board in the mid-1990's.


Q: Did she fool most of a Congressional district?

A: Naw, they knew what they were buying. If I remember right, it was 52-48 on '06. But I'd hafta check.


Q: Are the voters in Minnesota just that fucking dumb?

A: No! Please! No! I can't stand anymore guilt-by-association this week!

[AllieB]

28. I tried to call Bachmann's office: the mailboxes were FULL!

Full of pissed-off Hardball viewers maybe?

[Jazzgirl]

31. I was standing there watching her on the TV

and knew that if she was standing in front of me spewing the shit she was spewing I would slap the absolute shit out of her. She is a hateful cunt. Yes! I said it...she is a cunt!!!

[AllieB]

32. Bachmann & Ann Coulter are the only two women with whom I would ever use that word

They are despicable. The people who elected her should be embarassed.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]
